3 across in 98 Toyota Camry

Unregistered · May 28, 2013

We are expecting our third baby G-d willing in July and need to fit 3 car seats/boosters across.
Child 1- 3.5 yr, 40 lb
Child 2- almost 2, about 30 lb

Anyone have this setup? We don't want to have to buy 3 new car seats if possible...
We have a graco snug ride- the one that has 24 lb weight limit. 16.5 inches across (widest part of bottom of car seat)
And a sit n stroll car seat (for child 2). It's 17 inches across.
And a graco nautilus (for Child 1) which is 20 inches across.

Any suggestions?

I think it unlikely.

Are your two year old's shoulders over the top slots of the Sit N Stroll, or are the ears over the top of the shell? That seat is notorious for being outgrown unbelievably early.

The Snugride has many variations, but none have a 24 pound limit. There's a 22, though.

The Nautilus is not three across friendly, but it's possible to make it work.

I was just looking at three acrosses for the Corolla, which is slightly smaller, and I saw a Nautilus, Radian, and Combi Coccoro. It's possible the Nautilus you have, a Radian you buy, and the infant seat you have (potentially baseless) will work in your car. But I think your two year old is going to need a new seat ASAP unless they're very very tiny in the torso.
